o.k. folks, here's my question:

could an original 914-6 transmission with the factory option M220 (limited slip differential) be identified by the transmission number ???

I know the difference at the 914-4 transmission:
HAxxxxx ... 5 speed standard
HBxxxxx ... 5 speed LSD

any input is highly appreceated

I have put together a wiki page about the 914 transmission. It is located here...

http://www.roadglue.com/wiki/index.php?tit...14_transmission

As with any wiki, please feel free to jump in an contribute. Particularly those of you who have years of special 914 knowledge hidden away in your brain!

With help from Harald and Gustl, I have added a number of photos of serial numbers. I also have some additional photos that Gustl has sent that I still need to add to the article.

According to the charts at the web link above, the /11 & /12 on 914-4 tranny's refers to the tail or side shift configuration respectively - although that info may not be completely correct -
unless the basic case was interchangeable for tail or side shifter setups? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I say this because my mechanic - Hans of Hans Imports - had used a "used replacement case" to rebuild my early 73 2L side-shifter back in 12/83, when it's original case was too worn-out inside to use - see the pic of my current used case # below:

"HA" transaxle # used in rebuild for my 1973 914-2.0 (VIN 4732901954 & Engine GA000424 & still matching nos. from 9/72 build date):

Sorry to add to the confusion here, as I was only drawn to this post to figure out what LSD stood for, after seeing it in the parts forum! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

...but hopefully it adds to the forum, & feel free to use it on the tranny article - but please leave off my VIN & Engine numbers there!
